I didn't know that. Is it more or less powerful than the 661? I do know Echo makes a big saw not available in the U.S. due to emissions rules.
Is this a fake Stihl MS660?

Help Support Arborist Forum:
661 makes a little bit more power. 660 is probably more durable
To add more confusion this is what it looks like in the European version of the MS 660 manual:
I think they still make newer version of the 038? MS381 MS382?
MS 382 - available in many countries (Mexico, India, South Africa, Ukraine, etc.)

How about 070/MS 720 (Made in Germany)?

The plane shipping should cost close to 200 alone I would guess anymore.

China Inc was given designs by many companies when they offshored manufacturing there, despite a reputation for copying designs the hard way originally, because companies figured nobody would want to buy an off brand copy and that they could stay enough ahead of the design curve to make a profit - at least long enough for the execs to get their bonuses.
Cut to the present when it's easier than ever for them to sell such obvious trademark infringed copies and get away with it, with quality obviously not quite there - but close enough to spend "cheap" money on - and it's biting a lot of manufacturers in the butt.
I'd rather buy made-in-USA/Germany/Norway/notstolen
but I'm unlikely to pay 100% for a product made in China by the good brand when a high quality identical unit is available for 40% the price (like my HF winch).
Maybe don't give away the keys to the castle in return for short term profits and we can work together for both our benefits (you get good enough money and I get a reliable product).

I believe so

No doubt. We would still be enjoying the ability to buy a 346 or an MS440 off the shelf if not for excess government overreach. Wtf actually thinks you’re cutting down on any real pollution by choking down handheld outdoor power equipment? The same dumbasses that won’t allow solid fuel clean up on the West Coast so when it burns it takes millions of acres at a time instead of just thousands
I hate to wear aluminum foil but I tend to think that's on purpose. Not just here in the US but our northern neighbors are really getting screwed in the timber industry.
Same here with the hat. But it’s really bad

Can you put the serial number into a stihl site?
I doubt there is much of a need to. Every single part visible in that picture other than the half wrap handle has evidence of being aftermarket
